2016-06-07 Thread John H.
Anyone out there have a set of the punched cork grips laying around they're willing to part with? I'm switching my shifting setup from downtubes to bar-ends and the new grips just don't fit my hands as well as the older version. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
